Casey Affleck’s Best Actor win was not cheered by everybody. Affleck, who has been accused of sexually assaulting two women, was under heavy criticism ever since his Oscar bid began earlier this year. That he actually won is a fact that nobody seems able to digest. While many slammed the Academy’s decision to honour someone accused of sexual assault, others also marvelled at the irony that actress Brie Larson, winner of last year’s Best Actress award, and a notable supporter of sexual abuse victims, was made to present the Best Actor Oscar to Affleck.
